Oh great......then your dog can roll in fox s**t instead. Dogs love the stuff. Then you get to wash your dog (or dogs in our case).......oh who am I fooling, my wife walks the dogs and she washes the dogs....she doesn't like it much. I come back from a "tough" morning of golf with the fox crap news......hmmmm.....I shouldn't have mentioned it since it hasn't happened for a while.

OK....just mentioned this story to my wife.....and she said that if you use Jeyes fluid it should stop them re-marking the car port. It has a strong smell though.....

Foxes don't usually crap in my garden (and when they do, my dog doesn't tend to roll in it, she's only done that out in the woods a handful of times) because my dog usually barks her tits off when going outside so the foxes flee  ;D
My, how time flies....

We have a dog that loves to roll in fox crap......possibly even better....eating fresh horse crap. I had to protect a huge hedgehog a few weeks ago that was in the yard......my wife picked it up ("damn.....it's heavy!!") to move it to the neighbours.

Just between the three of us, I worry about some of the cat people on this board.  Some of them might have that brain parasite that makes you like your cat too much.

Does anyone know how to get a cat to stop sleeping on your pillow while you yourself are also attempting to sleep there? I don't know how he got it into his pea brain, but Boy Kitty has been sleeping on top of my head for the last 6 weeks and I am tired of either sleeping on leg bones or rolling over a leeetttlleee too close to cat butt.

Unfortunately you are going to have to be the one to move.  ;D

In his mind, this is how "we" sleep! To have a chance of changing that, you will have to remove him every single time he does it. Bear in mind, that you should prepare yourself for being shunned and ignored for a bit!

Shows you how silly my wife and I are.......we had our dishwasher taken out...we both prefer to do dishes by hand. A lot quicker.

In our old flat I hated washing dishes. Swore in our new place we'd find a way to get a dishwasher in.

Now that we are here in the new place, I don't mind doing the dishes after eating. It's quick and done.  Maybe it's because we have a big kitchen here versus a small one at the flat.

Ha I was just telling my mom how we have the most beautiful gypsy horse that gets tied up around the front of the neighbourhood.

She ruined it by saying I'd hate to be you or the parent who's kid steps in that horse crap.



Terrible pic it was night time but it's such a pretty horse

It's  the kitty's pillow now. Throw in the white flag and find a new one ;p

The farm at the end of my road has rescued 3 ex-gypsy horses (who were just abandoned in the local woods). Every so often, they get out as the farm has some weak points and you'll look out the front window and seeing horses just running through the little field in front of my house. It takes a minute to stop and realise what's happening. Usually I do a "wait whaaaat" double take haha

I feel bad for this horse, but I know they still "own" it because periodically it moves to different grassy areas. My husband tried to report it to rspca(?) because some of the places they tie it up are close to a big round about by the parkway.. but they didn't seem to care.


My friend was telling me how one morning she was feeding her daughter mad she kept saying horsey mommy.. and then she looked out the back door and saw a horse in the garden. lol that's a surprise for you!

Growing up, our neighbours had horses and occasionally they'd get into our field. We regularly get deer, so from the corner of your eye, you'd assume it was a gigantic deer. Scared the crap out of me when I pulled into the driveway alone one evening.
